Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Tariq's family in Aswan
A long illness left Tariq short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 7 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $500.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, we must leave.
I have two young children at home. Moving isn't just an expense - it would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
I have started working night deliveries, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here.
Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent.
Where the $500 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $330
• Late fees and court costs: $40
• Utilities in arrears: $25
• First month of rent as a buffer: $105
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Updates from Tariq
Quick update: $60 raised so far (12%). I made the first payment toward late fees and court costs. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($100 in total) the plan for first month of rent as a buffer is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Tariq

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Tariq
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. rent arrears (3 months) is the biggest at $330. Happy to explain more.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Cork.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Kasarani
